Core offering

Dalum Agricultural School (Dalum Landbrugsskole) delivers the complete Danish agricultural education pathway as a boarding school spanning youth vocational training (EUD Landmand), combined academic-vocational tracks (EUX Landmand), preparatory programs (10. Klasse, Studenterforløb), and advanced management education (Produktionsleder and Agrarøkonom). It supplements these with brobygning bridging programs, adult vocational courses (AMU), summer camps (FarmCamp/HorseCamp), and a professional equestrian center (Dalum Ridecenter), delivered across two specialized campuses in Korinth and Odense.

Product overview

Dalum Landbrugsskole is a boarding school (kostskole) offering the complete Danish agricultural education pathway across two departments (Korinth for foundation training, Odense for advanced and management programmes). Its portfolio spans: EUD Landmand and EUX Landmand (the two main vocational qualifications), a 10th-grade preparatory programme, a Studenterforløb for academic-track students, and two management-level programmes — Produktionsleder (20 weeks) and Agrarøkonom (40 weeks). Supplementary offerings include AMU adult vocational courses, brobygning bridging programmes, FarmCamp/HorseCamp, the Verdensmålsskole sustainability framework, the student-run Café cooperative, and a professional Dalum Ridecenter equestrian facility, all tied together under the school's motto 'Aldrig færdig, men altid på vej' (Never finished, always on the way).
